The Main Characteristics Of Extreme Impressionism

By Pamela King


Each and every artist has their inimitably unique style of doing their paintings. As much as this presents an individual with the freedom to paint visually impressive landscapes in whichever way that favors their style, Extreme Impressionism still remains the most impeccable form of painting. It has its own distinct character that places impressionists apart from other painters. To the viewer, true landscape paintings simply leaves them in awe.

Contrary to public perception, impressionism is not a school of realistic works depicting a natural setting. Neither is it the most influential and revolutionary type of art in France. No. Impression can be expressed as a notion, or attitude that is shared among impressionist whose works are influenced by the same features. The French artist, Claude Monet is famously known for the introduction of certain ideas that ultimately guided the ensuing generation of impressionists.

Historically, it is depicted that early realistic paintings were performed by Romantics in the former years of the nineteenth century. Previously known as Plein-Art paintings, the visual impressions created in this era had its own distinct character that brought out the natural environment as it appears, without no alteration of objects. As time elapsed, its popularity broadened across the entire European realm.

The most compelling aspect of arts by impressionists is their ability to recreate objects that appear in sight just as they are. This simple character is what makes them different from other artists. Upon viewing their works, one notices that the brush strokes are spontaneous, rapid and robust, with much emphasis polarized on how light influences the appearance of different objects. Further, they capture brief moments, regardless of how differently objects appear.

Light plays an important role in the making of realistic landscape paintings. Its reflection and disintegration as part of the natural phenomenon, forms the basis of extremely impressive landscape paintings. Impressionist are intuitive. This trait persuades them to study how light influence the appearance of objects in sight. Hence, unlike other artists, their style is not driven by emotions, but by constant experiments of natural phenomena.

Colors play an important role in landscape visual impressions on canvas. Early Romantism made use of dark pigments which failed to bring out the intended purpose. That made the next generation of artists to limit themselves to an array of bright colors ranging from; orange, red, green blue, crimson and violet. However, extreme realistic artist had a great degree of intuition, which allowed them to study the physical characteristics, and other scientific forces that aided their works.

Impressionism, as a matter of fact, did not hatch any school. It neither had a clear manifesto, nor set standards on how to paint. In simple terms, it comprises a series of art groups made up of artists whose trajectory of thought in regard to their works are parallel. Regardless, each of them is always very cautious not to compromise their individuality as far as their works go.

In the West, this style of art has influence many artistic approaches. Although not as influential as Cubism, or Surrealism, extremely realistic paintings brought a new revolutionary approach to painting that equipped fledging realists with specific skills of depicting nature as it were.
